This is a serious post...some scholars believe that the key propulsive element of firearms (gunpowder) is tainted by Satanic Influences. They believe the casualties caused by firearms from the initial introduction of gunpowder to Western Civilisation to the present are evidence of this...

Guns are tools. They have done both extensive evil and good in the hands of man.

If the government and people are of the belief that the civilian populace should refrain from possessing firearms, then I implore them to also demand the disarmament of the police and the military.............because, obviously, weapons serve nothing more than the purpose to kill people.

I recall a line from the Cape Fear remake: "A gun is only an extension of your hand." A gun is a non-thinking tool that can do nothing on its own. We as humans are corrupt at heart, and that's what causes bad things to happen.
